A new approach of algal-polymer -sheets was performed by the embedding of two algal seaweeds (Ulva fasciata and Sargassum dentifolium) into cellulose acetate (CA) polymer forming two types of cellulose acetate; Ulva (CA-U) and Sargassum (CA-S) sheets. Afterward, the two sheets were characterized then subjected to 3-Rs evaluation (Removal, Recovery, and Reuse) of methylene blue dye (MB). Characterization data exhibited good properties for biosorption process. Algal biosorbents achieved more than twice biosorption capacity (Q) after the embedding into the polymer sheet. Additionally, according to factorial design data, the contact time and the dose of biosorbents had positive effects on the biosorption in the two sheets. Freundlich, Langmuir, and pseudo-second order models displayed good represented data in the two sheets. Furthermore, the two sheets (CA-U, followed by CA-S sheet) were successfully given more than 98% adsorption of 273 mg/l MB concentration. Moreover, the recovery and reuse data proved that the two sheets can be performed in good behavior for more than three cycles.

The removal of antimony from wastewater using traditional methods such as adsorption and membrane filtration generates large amounts of antimony-containing hazardous wastes, posing significant environmental threats. This study proposed a new treatment strategy to reductively remove and recover antimony from wastewater using an advanced UV/sulfite reduction process in the form of valuable strategic metalloid antimony (Sb(0)), thus preventing hazardous waste generation. The results indicated that more than 99.

The widespread use of neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets has raised concerns about the environmental impact of their disposal, prompting the need for sustainable recycling strategies. Traditional solvents used in recycling are toxic and flammable, making them risky to use. Ionic liquids are safer and greener options with low vapor pressure, high stability, and less flammability.

While various methods are employed to ensure the virus safety of finished products, virus filtration (VF) stands out as the preferred method for virus removal and purification of a wide variety of products owing to its capability of separating product molecules with more than 90% recovery and no change in molecule characteristics. The modeling of the virus removal process for VF membranes is based on the principles of microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF), but with modifications for the much narrower separation difference, which is less than 2-fold for the separation of product molecules and virus particles. In this review, we introduce the materials and application of VF highlighting the unique characteristics properties of VF membranes through the steps of invention and subsequent development.

Background: Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are slow-growing, expansile bone tumors most often observed in the long bones and lumbar and thoracic spine. Anterior column ABCs of the spine are rare, and few cases have described their surgical management, particularly for lesions with extension into the odontoid process and the bilateral C2 pedicles. In the present case, the authors describe a two-stage strategy for resection of a symptomatic 2.
